How come i think suicide is the fix to all my problems?
Question:
I always wonder if i need to go to some therapist but my family would never take me seriosly if i told them that i was suicidal. Infact, i think they might even laugh. I've been this way for about 3 years now, almost.
Is there anything other than therapy that might help me?
Answers:
Other than therapy it's possible something like depression tablets could help you.
Or you could try to retrain your way of thinking, trying to focus on the positives rather than the negatives.
I felt like that for years too, but I no longer feel that way. I worked hard at making myself feel more positive. There are good things and bad things that happen in a day, some of the bad things aren't really that bad or permanent. I also used to panic a lot, but have become a lot more laid back now. I worked through it all without therapy or pills.
You could also consider joining an online community to discuss your issues/thoughts/feelings with other people going through similar difficulties.
I hope you feel better soon!

If you think about suicid e a lot you should tell you docotr see if there are any medications he can prescribe for you and also give you a referal toa goo therapist.
thats aplying a permanent solution to temporary problems
Um, first you need to tell yourself that killing yourself isnt going to fix everything... Because it really isnt. Think about the people youll be emotionally killing. Think about all the trouble it will bring. And ofcourse therapy wouldnt help either.
You should talk to your doctor about this. It is serious and if your parents don't take you seriously then just act like your sick so they will take you to the doctor and then tell the doctor how your feeling. This is not something to play around with. It is very serious. The main reason you probably feel this way is because you feel like life would be so much easier if you didn't have daily problems.
i'm your age and i always seem to think suicide is the solution to solve all my problems. then i realized its not.. some people may not know it, but if you cause suicide it would hurt the people that love and care for you.
Some sources that may help you is..
1-800-SUICIDE [ 1 800 999 9999 ].
a free crisis line that helps teenagers, you can call anytime.
Try to find a Deliverance Ministry in your area. Just typing "
Deliverance Ministry" into the computer with your town and state may bring up some. You have other problems also, but to have a spirit of death is not good. You need deliverance.
The Holy Spirit will cast it out of you and these ministers can discern other spirits that you could be harboring whether from ancestral sins or from your sins direct, but you definitely have the spirit of death.
It sounds like you suffer from depression. No one who is not depressed thinks about suicide. Go to a health food store and ask for a natural mood elevator. Before taking it, though, read about any side effects. Most things a doctor would prescribe have side effects that are nearly as bad as the original depression. But something from wholistic medicine that does not mention side effects can often be very effective. If one does not work, try another until you find what works for you. Good luck.
no because once you do it, there is no return, and you might not like what you find when youve crossed over.think on it, do you no where your going after this life? there are many many things that could ocur after death. i know you say you can't talk to your folks but a subject like this is not trivial, give it a try and share your thoughts, after all, they are your parents
I have had those thoughts for quite a while know myself. I just have to remind myself that suicide is the "easy way out" and is not an option. I think of how badly it would affect the people I care about and how wrong it really is. That is NEVER the way out of the way to fix a problem. You just have to stand strong and know you are a special person and you must keep trying and living. Try to look at all the good things you have in your world. Keep your chin up over there!
Please, if you need to talk to someone, email me at capricious_but_benevolent@yaho... I really mean it! I wish you the best!
Hello,
I'm sorry to read you're feeling this way and I'm also sorry to read that your family doesn't take you seriously. That must be pretty difficult.
When you think of suicide as a "fix" to your problems, I would imagine you're feeling pretty overwhelmed and situations seem hopeless. Even if the situation is small, what's underlying it may be a lot of cumulative stress and even little things feel like too much.
If you have someone you could talk to, even about the little things, you may be able to let some of the pressure off and not feel so overwhelmed.
I'm sure therapy would help. Suicide is definately not an answer to problems...it's an ending. Everyone has problems. There's not a person on the face of the earth that hasn't struggled with some issue at a time in their life, so you are definately not alone and there is help out there. People do care and the fact that you're reaching out and have connected with me, confirms this.
I care about you and don't want you to think that suicide is an option. Reaching out and talking about what's going on for you is though. Please reach out!
I hope this helps.
Take care.
Kathy A.
hmm... you should probably talk to a doctor about it.
if you want your family to take you serious.. then tell them how you feel and tell them that you want help... tell them you arent joking around and that you really feel like you need to talk to someone about it.
Do you know the main things that families say when someone they love commits suicide?
"Why didnt they tell me that they felt this way?"

i think u should set aside alittle alone time 4 ur self.cuz when ur by urself u can think and nothin will ever go wrong..dont worry about everything u do wrong...make ur life happy...remember u only have 1 life so live it to ur fullest
First of all, I'm sorry you feel this way in which you think that the fix to all your problems is if you stop existing. Then, you have to admit to yourself that there is a problem within you and the way you COPE with situations. Each situation should require a different approach. So if you think that there's only one way to deal with all your problems, then YOU have a problem. What you may be going through is called depression. If you think your family would laugh if you confronted them with your problem, then there's also a problem with the relationship you have them. And, don't think for a second that there are perfect families out there. There aren't any. I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist, but my guess is that you and your family need therapy. This therapy would help all of you learn how to cope with problems. Yes, each problem has a solution and none of those solutions include you leaving this earth. Please call a suicidal hotline now. Even if you don't feel like committing suicide, they can connect you to a group of people your age who are probably going through the same situation. This is also a form of therapy. Call 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK. Medicine along with therapy can help you out of a depression. Remember that everyone goes through difficult situations and have felt like you do. You are valuable. You have a purpose. You have the rest of your life to discover that purpose and have fun while doing so. Best wishes for a great life.
If you are like me, you think suicide is the answer because it seems like if you were dead you wouldn't feel the pain anymore. It would just go away. A split second and it's all gone. I've thought about it many times. I thought thinking about suicide was normal. Unfortunately it is not. In many cases. most people don't even think about suicide. So we are the odd ones here. I was functioning quite well (I thought) until I reached about 36. Then everything seemed to pile up emotionally and I lost whatever semblance of control I thought I had. I was totally not myself and I recognized I could be depressed. I took myself to the doctor, was put on medication and am now also seeing a therapist to help me work on myself to get back to a happier state of mind. It is helping and it is what I strongly suggest you do. Whatever your religion or beliefs are, there is hope for a better LIFE. It just may take some effort on our parts to get there. Please see your doctor. Don't focus on your family. Focus on you! And if you really are against therapy, call anonymously or chat online that way. Do something...continue reaching out till you find that lifeline you need and keep holding on. Suicide is not the answer. Not really. It's going to take time and tears but you can get to a better place. I wish you all the best. Please see your doctor for help. The best treatment is a combination of medication and therapy.
I really think that you should see a therapist suicide is not the answer seriously even is it something small i think you probably are depressed or something happened that made you become like this. I suggest make an appointment with a therapist. Before you think about committing suicide think about your family even though they might laugh hopefully not why would you put them through all that grief and anybody who cares about you.
dear lame dont do it. first of all i'll tell you why i added you to my friend list. i didnt know your age all i knew was your very funny and you made me laugh. i needed that laugh then and i am sure you will provide me with more in the future. you are a wonderful young lady and when i read your questions you remind me of my own 14 year old daughter. i like you. you have alot of things to do on this earth. and i am sure God put you here to make people happy. so you cant do this to yourself. i would truely miss your questions and your answers. ok. now, this is a serious thing. i've been threw it alot myself. trust me on this what seems like a problem today isnt anything but a molehill. when i was your age i thought it was my looks, when i got older i thought it was a marriage, then i went to desert storm. i was depressed threw it all..came back and i choose to end a marriage that would have killed me. then i became a unwed mommy that didnt have a job. but threw it all i strived on. there were many days i wanted to give up when my mom and dad died. but i stayed the course for my own kid. lame you are not lame. its taken me 40 years to grow up and see myself as a wonderful person. i am the lame one. you got your whole life ahead of you and your future children. stay strong your beautiful inside and outside, you make people laugh hundreds of miles from you (perhaps thousands) and you are smart. please pick up your bible go to church and remember that you have God who loves you no matter what. tell your parents your feelings. it may scare them, but you will see how important you are to them. God has worked wonders for me and i want you to read his book and have it relax and refresh you like it does for me. trust me lame (which you are not :) ) prayer does work.
i do too and ofcourse it would fix all ur problems
but thats ur life is getting through it
call 1800 999 9999. (the nineline) and tell them what's up. if they ask why you don't tell your parents, tell them what you say here: you doubt they would believe you. i have called the nineline on many occasions, and they help a lot. even if it isn't a big prob or seems minor, they won't be like, "this is for emergencies only" and hang up. i called even when things had been going okay, just to talk and blow off steam. that's what they're there for. If say to tell you parents, give it a shot. i had a similar prob last year, and i thought the same thing: no one will believe me. But i took a chance, and they understood. that conversation may or may not have saved my life. Good luck.
P.S: most of the volunteers @ nineline are teens, so they will probably know how you feel.
